  The 1993 Proclaimers book, PDF available again? (Atlantis, where are you?)

  by FatFreek 2005 in

  1. watchtower
  2. scandals

  a thread began some 10 years ago when our friend atlantis made a pdf available of jws modern history book.

  yes, that book is available on my 2015 library cd but only certain chapters.

  naturally, wt eliminated certain entire chapters and you can only guess why.

  ... and this time it was mine.. mrs. eden decided to part ways and leave home, and so our 25 year long partnership is now dissolving.

  just another colateral damage in a long list of colateral damages from being raised in the "truth".

  JWs on campus

  by Sarabethy in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's my first time on this site though i am no stranger in the ex-jw community.

  i come to you now asking for your assistance in what to present to the dean of students at my university.. why am i meeting with dean of students, you may ask?

  because today, while innocently finishing an assignment in the school library, i happened to look out the window and see the jws with their stupid little cart.

  I feel your pain. I have gone through similar emotions of disgust and anger. Find publication that show how the Watchtower discourages higher education and present them to the Dean. That should be a good start.

  We are giving too much power to the watchtower

  by sinboi in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i am just 17. many of you here are much older than me.. i do feel that offering advice here is like teaching my father how to fuck.

  but seriously, i do see the problem here.

  we are focusing more on the problem than the solution.. i have been reading mind power books for quite some time.

  "Is it really true that we will be the loser in this fight???"

  By mentally exiting the cult you won the war, everything else are pesky skirmishes. You are in control of your mind now! And that's one hell of a victory.

  Mom and dad made their choices and they may even be happy as it is. Focus your efforts mainly in making the best of your newly earned freedom

  Detroit the movie on Netflix anybody seen it ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  a movie about the riots in the seventies in the city of detroit but especially with the reason for the riots and the attitude of police and how the nation treated people of colour.

  and how they treated them and how the justice system failed them .. based on a true story.

  i found it very confronting yet compelling to watch.. humans have a tendency to lump everybody together in the same basket ,however we are not all the same, their is good and bad in every race and culture whether they are black, white or brindle .. anybody seen it and like to comment ?.

  Not seen it. I can't watch movies where there's gross injustices that try to describe historical events. Often I feel that the scriptwriter or the directors take liberties to make bad people look even worse and good people look even better. I rather read an account of the event that attempts to be as objective as possible, giving the good and the bad of both sides and let the reader decide.

  I may watch the movie just as an introduction to the subject, not the final word

  Wow!, first time ever that I see the Watchtower organizing an event that is not for the worship and monetary benefit of the Watchtower. Were there donation boxes? I bet you there were. I bet you the event this year started with a deficit, because the surplus from the previous year was donated to the not-happening-construction fund.

  Zalkin is the right man! Bring shame to the Watchtower, be compensated to the maximum limits allowed by the courts, but mainly be a hero and a model of bravery to those victims who remain in the shadows, and a savior to those who remain unprotected from the Watchtower gross callousness.

  Meeting Days Felt Different?

  by pale.emperor in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i dont know if it was the same for you, but for me when i was a jw meeting days seemed to have a black cloud hanging over them.

  on thursdays i knew i would be going to the meeting that evening.

  that i would be getting into my meeting clothes at 6:30pm, leaving the house at 6:55pm and be sat in the kingdom hall from 7:15pm-9pm, then milling around for about half an hour before finally getting home for 10pm.

  You are very brave and a great human for making the sacrifice for the sake of others.
  

  Any possibilities of civil litigation? You should be compensated, but the greater benefit is to add to the bad publicity of the Watchtower, and therefore the protection of other victims who are unaware of the PPP (Pedophile Protection Program) of the Watchtower.
